The Atlanta Falcons have a ton of confidence coming into their opening game of the season against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. The revised team, with new head coach Dan Quinn and offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan have the team running at a high level and the off season moves have helped to make the offense a bit more potent.
But not all areas can be addressed with one off season. While the offense is stronger, the defense will be the linchpin that will get them to the playoffs and even with first round pick Vic Beasley and a handful of veteran free agents, they will be hard pressed to do too much better than last seasons worst defense in the NFL.
